If the delay is always related to a sound file playing, you can check 
the state of the sound. If you are using the "play" command to play an 
audioclip:

on selectionChanged
    if the sound is not done then select empty
    else pass selectionChanged
end selectionChanged

If you are using a player object to play the sound, check whether the 
currentTime of the player is equal to the duration of the Player. That 
will tell you if the sound is finished:

on selectionChanged
    if the currentTime of player 1 <> the duration of player 1
    then select empty
    else pass selectionChanged
end selectionChanged
